2018 Canadian Electrical Code, Part I (24th edition), Safety Standard for Electrical Installations
Preface
The mini code book that comes with the main one is really handy too. I keep it in a ziplock bag among my tools for quick on the job references. Yeah preferably for free. Its gotta be out there somewhere. International Electrical Worker Community. Talk shop, show off pictures of your work, get general help, and ask code related.
This twenty-fourth edition of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, was approved by the Committee on the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, and by the Regulatory Authority Committee at their June 2017 meetings in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This twenty-fourth edition supersedes the previous editions, published in 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006, 2002, 1998, 1994, 1990, 1986, 1982, 1978, 1975, 1972, 1969, 1966, 1962, 1958, 1953, 1947, 1939, 1935, 1930, and 1927. This edition features important revisions to many Sections. Section 26 now mandates the use of tamper-resistant receptacles in additional areas where children may be present. Section 62 now requires ground fault circuit interrupter protection for heating devices and controls in proximity to tubs, sinks, and shower stalls.
Section 10 has been updated, reorganized, and significantly reduced in length. Requirements for power over ethernet systems have been added to Section 16, and requirements for marinas, wharves, and similar facilities have been substantially updated and reorganized in Section 78.
To address the increasing use of electric vehicles, Section 8 now formally recognizes energy management systems as a method of reducing the load on building services. Because lighting control devices associated with energy management or home automation require power to operate, Section 4 now requires that an identified conductor be provided for all devices controlling permanently installed luminaires.
Other revisions in this edition include the following:
ò in Section 26, Rules 26-400 to 26-726 have been reorganized and renumbered in order to group related concepts together and provide a more logical flow for the requirements;
ò in many Sections, the redundant use of the term ôapprovedö has been eliminated;
ò clarification has been provided on arc-fault circuit interrupter protection for bathrooms, washrooms, existing circuits, and circuits supplying carbon monoxide or smoke alarms;

ò requirements for dining area and refrigerator circuits have been clarified;
ò The terms ôjacketedö, ôinsulatedö, and ôcoveredö as applied to conductors have been clarified through a new definition of the term ôjacketö and a revised definition of the term ôconductorö in Section 0. As a result, the term ôconductorö has been replaced with ôinsulated conductorö in many Sections of the Code; and
ò Section 82 has been deleted as it covered a technology that is no longer in use.
Many of the changes in this edition were developed by cross-functional working groups. Their work is gratefully acknowledged.
General arrangement
The Code is divided into numbered Sections, each covering some main division of the work. Sections 0 to 16 and 26 are considered general sections, and the other sections supplement or amend the general sections. The Sections are divided into numbered Rules, with captions for easy reference, as follows:- Numbering system - With the exception of Section 38, even numbers have been used throughout to identify Sections and Rules. Rule numbers consist of the Section number separated by a hyphen from the 3- or 4-digit figure. The intention in general is that odd numbers may be used for new Rules required by interim revisions. Due to the introduction of some new Rules and the deletion of some existing Rules during the revision of each edition, the Rule numbers for any particular requirement are not always the same in successive editions.
- Subdivision of Rules - Rules are subdivided in the manner illustrated by Rules 8-204 and 8-206, and the subdivisions are identified as follows:
00-000 | Rule
(1) | Subrule
(a) | Item
(i) | item
(A) | item - Reference to other Rules, etc. - Where reference is made to two or more Rules (e.g., Rules 10-200 to 10-206), the first and last Rules mentioned are included in the reference. Where reference is made to a Subrule or Item in the same Rule, only the Subrule number and/or Item letter and the word ôSubruleö or ôItemö need be mentioned. If the reference is to another Rule or Section, then the Rule number and the word ôRuleö shall be stated (e.g., ôRule 10-200(3)ö and not ôSubrule (3) of Rule 10-200ö).
This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.
Scope
This Code applies to all electrical work and electrical equipment operating or intended to operate at all voltages in electrical installations for buildings, structures, and premises, including factory-built relocatable and non-relocatable structures, and self-propelled marine vessels stationary for periods exceeding five months and connected to a shore supply of electricity continuously or from time to time, with the following exceptions:a) installations or equipment employed by an electric, communication, or community antenna distribution system utility in the exercise of its function as a utility, as recognized by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction, and located outdoors or in buildings or sections of buildings used for that purpose;
b) equipment and facilities that are used in the operation of an electric railway and are supplied exclusively from circuits that supply the motive power;
c) installations or equipment used for railway signalling and railway communication purposes, and located outdoors or in buildings or sections of buildings used exclusively for such installations;
d) aircraft; and
e) electrical systems in ships that are regulated under Transport Canada.

The 2018 Canadian Electrical Code, otherwise known as the CE Code or CSA C22.1-2018, has been released.
Electricity powers the world, but the equipment and systems that utilize the energy phenomenon can present shock and fire hazards. This is, of course, nothing astonishing, as electrical installations have not only been carefully managed for the past century, but they have been safely guided by codes and standards that provide users with the utmost contemporary knowledge.
Electrical codes layout guidelines that help facilitate the safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment. In the United States, the NFPA 70 National Electrical Code fulfills this need. In Canada, it is the Canadian Electrical Code. Among the numerous similarities shared between these documents in their purpose, they both follow a similar three-year revision cycle.
Developed by the Canadian Standards Association (operating as “CSA Group”), CSA C22.1-2018 details extensive (it is over 900 pages long) guidance for the installation of electrical equipment operating at all voltages. With some exceptions, it specifically covers:
“buildings, structures, and premises, including factory-built relocatable and non-relocatable structures, and self-propelled marine vessels stationary for periods exceeding five months and connected to a shore supply of electricity continuously or from time to time”
In Canada, adhering to the CE Code goes beyond just following safe practices. The Canadian Electrical Code is generally adopted by legislation, with some changes needed to amend the code for circumstances particular to the local body. In these instances, the governmental requirements supersede the stipulations of the code, so it is crucial to know your local rules.
As the 24th edition of the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1-2018 has undergone numerous alterations from the 2015 revision of the standard. This includes significant alterations to sections on residential/housing, renewable energy, grounding and bonding, and tamper resistant receptacles, as well as the addition of power over ethernet guidelines. Some specific changes to the 2018 Canadian Electrical Code include:
Electric Code Book Free
Section 26, “Installation of electrical equipment”, now mandates the use of tamper-resistant receptacles in additional areas where children may be present.
Section 62, “Fixed electric heating systems,” now stipulates ground fault circuit interrupter protection for heating devices and controls in proximity to tubs, sinks, and shower stalls.
Section 8, “Circuit loading and demand factors,” now formally recognizes energy management systems as a method of reducing the load on building services. This was done to address the increasing use of electric vehicles.
These few examples only partially detail the entirety of the adjustments and additions made to the 2018 Canadian Electric Code. To assist the standard user in uncovering any changes relevant to his or her particular line of work, CSA C22.1-2018 identifies any changes with the symbol delta (Δ)in the document’s margin.
